Good Four: India Donaldson Travels into Sophomore Project ‘Chaperones’

Date:

In what will be a highly anticipated sophomore feature in the American indie sphere, after slaying with her directorial debut (Sundance and Directors’ Fortnight selections) Good One, India Donaldson will move into production on her next feature this fall and we have some notable backers in place with this one. The World of Reel folks report that A24 and PLAN B productions are backing Chaperones — a film that could hit the festival circuit as early as late 2026.

Chaperones follows four characters—two friends and their dealer—as they embark on a cross-country journey in their pick-up truck to transport their troubled friend. We imagine the project is deep in casting and scouting locations. Look for the trades to make an announcement shortly.
